I have been to TED since some 4/5 months back and since I have scanty knowledge about the market so I do  not post many messages , but I am quite a regular reader of the posts on TED. And now I feel TED has influenced me a lot and now a days I am quite imune to the day to day market volatility. One of the most important thing is that I am learning a lot about various business domains and gradually it is creating a sense of confidence in me.I have started reading  about Buffet,Lynch and RJ and have become follower of value investing. I think TED is going to make a big difference in my life.......

I have learned to


1. Balance
the risk I am taking for the returns  being chased.

2. Selecting stocks based on earnings growth.

3. Reducing the number of stocks in my portfolio to ten.

Taking a long term view keeping in mind overall valuations.

I just came to know about this site few days back while googling. Since 2 days i am browsing all the links here (earlier used to browse thru moneycontrol.com).

Though my investing strategy is inline with basant and some others, TED is making me to relook my portfolio and shuffle some investments.

Thanks to TED.

Had it not been for TED.....I would have:
 
  • Got scared whenever prices fell
  • Applied for many recent IPOs to 'play it for the pops'
  • Searched the net for 'hot tips'
  • Watched CNBC a bit more
  • Believed those analysts' predictions
  • Subscribed Broker's newsletter
  • Booked out early after seeing little profit or sold in panic
  • Not been thinking in an entrepreneurial way towards investing

Thanks TED! Am proud to be a TEDdy.

Of course there is lot lot more to learn about......

Dear Basant,

I am a Johnny come late and have just joined recently as a member. So please forgive me if I keep replying to some of your older mails. Though I am relatively new, I am very excited with your concept of TED.

I think an apt quote for it could be: " Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

Sir, I think you have started this wonderful idea.
Regards,
Taggy

One of the most important thing TED gives is : Emotional support when ur stocks (good one) looses more than 30-40% in short span of time. We talk more about company than prices and since nothing changes during or before market crash the fear reduces. And at last, people's word "to have courage" and "sense of togetherness" sails us through all these big tides.
